Answer 1

Answer #1

Number of stages in pipeline = 6
branch decision is known in stage S5

(1)Stall-on-branch;outcome is taken = 4
(2)Stall-on-branch;outcome is untaken = 4
(3)Predict branch untaken;outcome is taken = 4
(4)Predict branch untaken;outcome is untaken = 0

Computer architecture n Question 37 The pipelined datapath we studied is called the rigid pipeline. What are its shortcomings? (check all that are true) It is limited to IPC-1 (Instruction Per Cycle) There's only one instruction in the datapath at any moment It cannot do out-of-order execution O Data dependences must be resolved by the compiler A stall propagates to earlier stages
